Gah! I absolutely love this colorful, geometric, hand-embroidered work by New Zealand artist Jane Denton! I love it so much in fact, that I’ve stocked that last piece, the big beautiful X, in my GREAT.LY shop … yes, GREAT.LY officially launches today! We should celebrate, yes? Hm… how about a give-away of one of Jane’s amazing pieces!? Like this one:

Jane has generously given this amazing, triangular, framed original to me so that I can then give it to one of you! Isn’t that the nicest thing EVER? I saw it in person when I was in New York for the GREAT.LY press party, and I was very tempted to give it away to myself! But that wouldn’t be very nice, so just leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw one winner on Friday May 23 at midnight PST, and I’ll announce the winner on Saturday morning. Good luck! {and go check out GREAT.LY! I’m so proud to be part of it… can you tell?!}

ps. see that little G at the top left of the site… up with FB etc… yep, that’s a direct link to my GREAT.LY boutique, and if you see those on other blogs, it will link through to their shops. YAY!

……………

AND THE WINNER IS …. ME! Ok, no it isn’t. The name I pulled last night at midnight was HEIDI LEECH! YAY Heidi! Thanks to everyone that entered… I’ll do another one as soon as I can ♥

I love these! I really like the combination of color and texture. And congratulations on the shop! I love so much of the stuff you post, and I so often click through and am disappointed to find that artists don’t have online shops.

Wow what a giveaway! I saw this beautiful piece in a picture on an interiors blog about a month ago and I’ve been checking Jane’s website each week to see if this piece has become available to purchase again. Would absolutely love to win this original!

What a refreshing angle on embroidery! I love it and use it in drawings but these are wonderful. Would love to have this in my humble student digs (studying applied arts!) to remind me to keep on sewing (:

this work and my work should be friends hanging out on a wall TOGETHER!

My walls are bare and this artwork would make my home ‘POP’. Love Jane’s work (and your site). Such talented peeps

It is exciting to see embroidery as an artform. My mother was an avid embroiderer and spent many many many hours creating pillowcases and table cloths. My first venture into embroidery as a child was embroidering a lamb on my pillow case. I was so crazy proud of myself. Yesterday I was in a store that sold embroidery thread and I was so excited to see all the colors and the texture and remembering the little wrapper around it. James work is stunning!

Holy Smokes! This is so exciting that I blasted the news all over my blog and Facebook. Congrats! This collection featured here is wonderful. I love it. xo

Stitching together triangles of candy coated colors into threads of happiness. It makes me want to put on my flowy embroidered top, drop my straw hat and beach towel in the basket while I pedal my pink bike to the beach. Splash! Cool down with a quick dip in the aqua blue water. I have the perfect place to hang a Jane Denton for a daily fix of positive vibes.

It is beginning to become cold, dark and dreary where I live, leaving me with a very heavy heart. Winter is coming. Jane Denton’s embroidery, bright and colourful, up lifts it. Winter is temporary. Happiness is around the corner
